REVIEW – We’ve been using the same older Bluetooth outdoor speaker for at least 3 years now, a smaller no-frills cheap model that lacks bass but at least lasts 8+ hours per charge. During a recent gathering in our back yard I realized how woefully underpowered it was when I could barely hear it from …

NEWS – 2 years ago, I reviewed the extremely loud SOUNDBOKS (Gen 3) speaker. In conclusion, I said, “. . . you can deliver 126 decibels of “Turn that down or I’m calling the cops”. It was—and still is—one bada*s speaker. Of course, a company that would unashamedly make such a speaker is going to …

REVIEW – I have reviewed lots of Bluetooth speakers here at the Gadgeteer. Some have been better than others. But I have reviewed some Treblab products over the years and generally had good success with their products. So the Treblab HD-Mini Bluetooth speaker at $39.97 seemed like a steal. Let’s check it out! What is …
REVIEW – Face it, most Bluetooth speakers today sound decent enough to enjoy, and some even sound darn good. So, assuming all Bluetooth speakers sound good, what distinguishes one from another?

REVIEW – When people discuss portable speakers today, most imagine a small Bluetooth speaker that you can clip to your backpack that you can enjoy at the beach, set your drink on top of, or maybe even accidentally knock it into the pool without damage.

REVIEW – I have used the same portable Bluetooth speaker for years now. Sure, I’ve tried out others, but I always go back to my tried and true, basic waterproof speaker.

REVIEW – Recently, I was sent the Treblab HD-Force portable wireless speaker to review. Ordinarily, I might or might not show interest in “another Bluetooth speaker”, but this one sparked an interest. It looked a lot like the Tribit StormBox Pro speaker I reviewed (and liked a lot) two years ago—but a bit bigger. I …

REVIEW – Sometimes it’s fun to kick it old school by listening to FM radio. I do this whenever I’m in my car, but when I’m home I can use a device like the MUZEN AUDIO OTR Metal Bluetooth speaker which has a built-in FM radio. Let’s tune in to a local station and take …
REVIEW – Do you like gold? Do you appreciate good audio quality? Are you discerning when it comes to product design? If you say yes to these questions, there may be a speaker made just for you.

REVIEW – Since I have been back in the office post-Covid, I have been sitting at my desk with a headset attending virtual meetings one after the other all day long. I am fine with no-in-person meetings, but some of the meetings are long and I would like to be able to get up from …

REVIEW – There’s an old saying from author Margaret Wolfe Hungerford in 1878, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Nothing proves her quote more accurately than the Trettitre TreSound1 Bluetooth speaker.

REVIEW – Since I started testing and reviewing gadgets for the Gadgeteer, I have been able to enjoy several different sizes, brands, and types of portable Bluetooth speakers with various capabilities. I could possibly be referred to as some sort of collector since I still have and play off of them at one time or …
REVIEW – Bluetooth speakers – they’re everywhere. This new one from EarFun intrigued me for a couple of reasons. Let me explain.
